At the end of 2017, I was hired by Spread Your Wings to help build the new Independent Living Services (ILS) program. I began with only 3 ILS clients who are still clients we work with to this day, and now our ILS clientele has grown to a family of 27 that are acquiring the knowledge and skills to live as independently as possible.
I am blessed to have a career that I genuinely enjoy, all the while being able to make a positive difference in our clients' lives is very rewarding. The sparkle in their eyes and smiles on their face after accomplishing something on their own is a truly unforgettable experience. I believe staying positive and motivating others is a compelling thing. I'm a firm believer in recognizing someone when they've worked hard to accomplish something no matter how big or small. It boosts their self-confidence, giving them the motivation to want to learn and do more.
